[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1882361, member: 190607"] BOTH SuperDuper! and CCC are specifically designed to create bootable clones. It's Apple's Big Sur that has made doing so problematic, not these products. I've used both, but I've had an allegiance to SD! because I've had it work when CCC has failed (admittedly that was a long time ago), but also because I've found Dave Nanian of Shirt Pocket Software to be amazingly meticulous. I still remember that, when Apple moved to OS X, that Dave's SD! was the very first product that could handle meta-data correctly. Everyone else flubbed it. It hasn't surprised me that SD! has taken a while to work with M1-based Macs. Dave is adamant that things have to be done to Apple's specs, he doesn't use work-arounds. Dave has worked directly with Apple to get the macOS fixed so that clones are easily possible again. Both CCC and SD! are excellent products. CCC has more features than SD!. But I trust SD! to be the more solid and safe product in the long run. [/QUOTE]
